Lift Throttle Over Steer is when you go in to a corner, you think you're going a little too fast, so you lift your foot off the throttle, and maybe even, God-forbid, touch your brakes, and the weight of the car transfers to the front wheels and off the rear wheels. The lessening of adhesion on the rear wheels results in the rear "breaking loose" and coming around on the car. Because the wheel base of the Cobra is so short, you have a very short radius to your circle, which means this happens very, very fast. If you've ever seen a car, off the road, on the inside of a curve, completely turned around so it's pointing at you, that's what happened.
